Total KnockouT

Berjumpa lagi di entry seterusnya. Part 2 ATC intake. Congrats to those who have passed the first exam. "RM0.00:SPA: Anda dijemput utk menghadiri temu duga Pegawai Kawalan Traffik Udara Gred A41" In this interview, it has 3 sessions; 1. Color blind test, 2. Reading and
understanding a text given and 3. Group discussion. For the 2nd and
3rd session, the entire participant will be assessed by the DCA
officers.

The participant is divided into a small group. For my group, the
interviewer is the current Air Traffic Controller at the KLIA. These officers
are an excellent listener; commands a good English, very firm and
they are hard to be tickle. ;)

Not much to say in the color blind test.
Failed the test, you will be called for the second test. Failed the second
test, participant are requested to leave the area. In the second session,
participant is required to read the text between ATC and pilot. The text given
is highlighted in different color. One needs to read the
lines clearly with good clarity and good English pronunciations. Please read
the next line clearly, Pilot: “Mayday, mayday, mayday. Foxtrox Kennedy Seven
Eight Two Request Emergency Landing Due Bird Strike”. ATC: “Kuala Sentral
Tower, Please Route Foxtrox Kennedy Seven Eight Two To Subang Airport” ini
dialog aku reka. ;).

Move to the next session, participant is given 2-5 minutes to
understand the given paragraph. Read it carefully and understand the passage.
Question will be given verbally and the panel would like us to answer it by
reading the passage back. Don’t try to elaborate/give opinion for an answer.

On the third session, in the group of 4 to
5 participant, we have to select our own discussion topic. Topics available during my session; 1. What is the differences between normal commercial airlines and
Low-Cost commercial airlines? 2. What is the method to maintain a healthy
lifestyle? Nie jer yg aku ingat. On this session, the interviewer request our
group to select a group leader and why. We are given 10 minutes, pen marker and
kertas paper size A1 to jot down our group discussion. Buat macam peta minda.
Then we have to present what we have written in that piece of paper. We have to clearly elaborate the points and
facts throughout our presentation. After we have presented our own points, the
panel will require us to interact with our group member. As I said previously,
these ATCO is an excellent listener; they easily detect our mistake during our
presentation. They will confront us back based on what we have said. At this moment,
please be composed and think of a good solution instead of against the wrong facts
you gave. Memang
pressure kerana if 1 group member kantoi, yang lain TAK boleh tengok jer. Try
to defend this group member. Baru dapat tunjuk kiter nie team player. Kalau
tengok jer member kena hentam, parah.

As’salam. It’s been awhile since I last
update this blog. This entry comes to you in three parts. I would like to share my experience on the
entry of Air Traffic Controller Officer Officer (A41). How do I apply this position?
–SPA Malaysia. The exams took place in Dec 2013 after my last update in the SPA
website back in year 2009. Cool huh? ;p

The mathematical questions are very tough.
Please master your mathematics skill since the question is tricky and the time
is very limited. Don’t waste your time if you are stuck in a question. Move to
the next question. Saya kantoi dalam 3-5 soklan, so I start answering the paper from behind. ;p. No calculator is allowed, by right, x sempat pon nak tekan calculator tue.

English comprehension paper, one is required
to fully understand the passage given. The passage might have double meaning
but the question is very direct. Please re-read the passage carefully in order
to understand the passage. The passage also contains slightly high vocab. For
an example, what is the holistic point of view from the Prime Minister speech? Is
it illogical for you to understand the passage?

Last paper is the aptitude test. Aptitude test is main criteria in this ATC
examination. Aptitude is basically to measure your ability to handle
certain environment. You must be very compose to answer this paper. For an example, your neighbor’s house caught a
fire, what is your first action taken? At the car park, you accidentally hit a
car while entering the parking lot, what is your next action?
